Senior Test Manager

Psi Quantum’s mission is to build the first useful quantum computers‐machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million‑qubit, fault‑tolerant quantum systems.

Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries.

Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry—including partners like Global Foundries—we use the same high‑volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don’t feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber‑optic infrastructure.

In 2024, Psi Quantun announced government‑funded projects to support the build‑out of our first utility‑scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition that quantum computing will be strategically and economically defining—and that now is the time to scale.

Psi Quantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies—including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes‑Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical—to prepare quantum solutions for real‑world impact.

Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. It represents a fundamental shift—and a path to mastering challenges that cannot be solved any other way. The potential is enormous, and we have a clear path to make it real.

Come join us.

We are seeking an experienced test manager in our test team. This role focuses on developing new capabilities, with responsibilities in test enablement, new tooling, recipe development, and analysis to support decisions. This role works with the broader photonics organization.

• Improve system throughput and capabilities for electrical and optical test, focused on wafer and edge coupling platforms.
• Develop circuit level test capability and extend to high speed yield capable testing.
• Increase tool throughput and availability by designing improved hardware and software.
• Design repair plans for complex failures, and proactive monitoring solutions to avoid issues.
• Work with component development engineers and extend capabilities and improve high volume testing.

• Bachelor’s degree in related field;
  PhD preferred
• 10 years of experience in the following areas:
  • Photonic test or characterization, especially at wafer scale/probe scale.
  • Electronic, RF, and photonic IC testing.
  • Lab and production scale practice in imaging and fiber measurement.
  • Experience with software development and software management and planning.
  • Experience working with engineers and technologists in R&D and NPI environments.
